Curraheen Princess and Gavin Ryan took the honours at 14/1 in the Colm Quinn BMW Handicap over an extended five furlongs at Bellewstown.
She availed of stall one to race prominently and disputed the lead at the halfway stage.
Gavin Ryan sent her on two furlongs out and she moved a couple of lengths clear by the furlong pole.
She kept on nicely to take the spoils by a length and three quarters from King's View (7/2). Teddy Boy (16/5jf) was another three parts of a length back in third.
Trainer Des Donovan said: "I was with Barney (Curley) at the start and I'm with him at the finish.
"When he talked you had to listen. He was good to everybody."
